I was just wondering if 343 has said anything specific concerning your squads intelligence in campaign? Are they gonna be effective, average, or downright stupid (like marines)?
They talk a little about it in the latest ViDoc. Here’s the relevant section:
They said that it was an issue that they had several guys work solely on that issue. The AIs needed to be helpful and smart and useful but not enough to do the game for you, just watch the ViDoc.

I don’t see why that matters. You either fight with them as AI, or as CO-OP buddies of whom are significantly better then any AI… You see what I mean. No matter what, the AI will never be as good as if you were instead playing four player CO-OP. I’m so sick and tired of dumb useless AI, for example the marines in Halo 4 were some of the most useless marines I’ve had the honour of playing with in any Halo campaign. That’s saying a lot when you take into account the level of AI in Halo 1 and 2 
And if you play the Halo games on Legendary, then give as really smart AI buddies. Is that too much to ask. Smart AI that don’t drive off cliff edges, drive into a fire lane, run into a large cluster of enemies head on…
As long as they dont drive like Kat, we’re good.

True that
Even if it serves as a formidable distraction for me to approach and eliminate the enemies from a different angle, I’m fine with that. I do think they will serve as much more that just decoys though.
I have a hard time imagining they had guys set to tweaking them the entire project just to have them be useless. I’d kind of wonder what those two did.

“Squirrel!!!”
Swerves off cliff
I don’t know… imagine the Star Wars: Republic Commando teammates, except Halo-fied. It’s been a while since I’ve played Republic Commando though, so I don’t remember if they were any good. But I heard that one of the lead developers of RC was in the H5 development team, so, theoretically, they could be as good (or bad) as Delta Squad.

They were pretty bad.

LMAO XD
The problem I had with the Spartan AI on Halo Reach, you knew they were doing reduced damage.
I actually decided of Kat Could take on a Elites by herself on Normal. And though she was invincible, she wasn’t able to kill the Elite. Not even drop his shields after 10 minutes.
At least the Arbiter could kill the enemy. Even though he would constantly get knocked out whenever you left him alone
The Best squad AI was Republic Commando i have seen in a shooter game, besides ghost recon. And that is where they got the Idea from. For they have one of the Main project leads of RC working on H5
